Not all, but many conservatives regularly attend church. Where, being conservatives, they probably make offerings or tithings with some regularity.

Those monies are often used in significant portion for mission work, outreach and other such christian aid.

So conservatives don’t care about the sufferings of others,eh?

On the contrary, instead of just “feeling” about the suffering of others, they take action and give not only their money but their time to actually bring relief to those people. These ministries often help suffering people be able to help themselves better as well.

Which is something liberals can neither claim nor actually understand.

Libs need slapped with some Sowell, some Thomas Sowell.

Inequalities of outcome exist because of inequalities of EFFORT.

The bottom 20% of the income strata have about 29% full time working employment record, whereas the top 20% have over 90%.

Could that be the reason? Am I “heartless” for pointing that out?

Should we reward non-work by “equalizing” outcomes between those who put forth effort and those who do not?

You hit the nail on the head. A conservative takes care of his or her family first, does what he or she can to help others and then realizes that is all they can do.

A liberal wallows in worry and is miserable over things that he or she can’t change.
